My Family are the Best People (shadow) by chewmeupspitmeout (feat. Charles Manson)

*I originally planned to write some lyrics about someone meeting Charles Manson and being drawn into his cult, interspersed with the samples of Manson. I never quite got them right though, so here's a truncated version. The backing vocals are sampled from actual members of the Manson Family performing Is There No One in the World but You?

Lyrics*:
Check this man
Now you're born with a survival instinct
To be selfish
Oh, even ol' JC said, "Spare the rod and spoil the child"
You dig?
The first thing that happens, man
Cos they start giving you their thoughts
And making things out of you that they want out of
And by the time you reach thirty you're exactly what they want.
You're a free soul standing in a cage who has to die because he was taught that he has to die
Everyone must eat.
Why you'd been insane
And they said don't go insane

I was so smart when i was a kid
That I learnt that I was dumb
Fast
That's the way it is with everyone, not just me.
They even teach you the word
They give you the words
Take all the words away
And don't think in right and wrong
Just think in truth
And all the answers are there
The sound of one hand clapping
Is simply the sound of one hand clapping
There's no bigger answers
All the big colleges that we've been building It's taking people the other way.
The smartest people in the world
Are really the most cut off

Progress? There's no such thing as progress There's only change
You dig a hole in the ground and you build up a city
And you fight a war and you call it progress
And it's a beautiful game
And it's a perfect game
And whoever wants to continue playing the general
And going around killing themselves
Well, my goodness
I wouldn't want to play that game myself
But if they want to play it
I love them for it

As long as there's hate in your heart
There'll be hate in the world.
You can't fight for peace
And you can't capture freedom

As long as there's hate in your heart there'll be hate in the world
As long as there's hate in your heart there'll be hate in the world
As long as there's hate in your heart
As long as there's hate in your heart
As long as there's hate in your heart
As long as there's hate in your heart
